Murder Of Mfantseman MP Appeared Not Politically Driven – Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko

Founder and former Executive Director of the Daquah Institute, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has argued that the killing of the Mfantseman MP, Ekow Quansah Hayford should not be seen as politically motivated unless and until proven otherwise.

According to him, the murder of the politician must be treated as a crime. He made this assertion in a tweet via his official Twitter page.

In a tweet on Saturday, October 17, the CEO of Asaase Radio said “It appears there was no political motive behind the murder of the MP.

“Let’s treat it for what it is and let’s stop the conspiracy theories – unless and until proven otherwise. Crime is a crime. Murder is murder. Not everything should be seen as NPP vs NDC.”

A few days ago, the Ghanaian political landscape was sent into a state of shock after news broke out that suspected armed robbers killed lawmaker for Mfantseman on his way back from a campaign trip to Abeadze Dominase on Friday, October 9.

Ekow Quansah Hayford had visited the town barely hours after filing his nomination for re-appointment in the December 7 parliamentary elections.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested days after his demise, five persons.

Speaking on the arrest of the five individuals, the Ghana Police Service on Friday, October 16 divulged that the five individuals are being taken through lawful police procedures.

“Five persons have been arrested in connection with the murder of the Member of Parliament for Mfantsiman Constituency, Hon. Ekow Quansah Hayford”.

“They are being taken through lawful Police procedures. Further updates will be given in due time,” the Police announced in a statement.
